Required: ART 111 or MUS 110; BIO 110 or BIO 111; CHM 131/131A, CHM 151, PHY 110/110A, PHY 151, or AST 111/111A; CIS 110; COM 231; ENG 112 or ENG 113; ENG 131, ENG 231, ENG 232, or ENG 233; HIS 111, HIS 112, HIS 121, or HIS 122; PED 110; PED activity course; PSY 150, ; SOC 210 or SOC 225; any two of MAT 140, MAT 141/141A, MAT 161 or higher See your academic advisor for an Individualized Learning Plan for this pre-major.

At certain UNC institutions, EDU 216 may fulfill major requirements; at a majority of institutions, the course will transfer only as a free elective. Students should check with the university for the local transfer policy regarding EDU 216.

Recommended: For electives, pre-education students in Elementary Education should select courses that will help meet a corollary studies area. These courses should be selected in conjunction with the requirements at each university, since available corollary studies may not be offered on each university campus. Corollary Studies comprise a minimum of 18 hours of community college or UNC-campus coursework in a choice of four interdisciplinary areas: (1) diversity studies; (2) global issues; (3) the arts; (4) math, science, and technology. Satisfying the UNC Board of Governors’ requirement for an academic concentration, corollary studies are appropriate for expanding and deepening the pre-service elementary teacher’s knowledge, appreciation, and skills in the area appropriate to the elementary-school classroom and curriculum. See your academic advisor for a more complete list of recommendations for corollary-studies areas.

Admission to the Major at a Public Senior Institution
Grade-point-average requirements vary, and admission is competitive across the several programs In Elementary Education. Minimum statewide requirements are the following:

  1. Minimum 2.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale
  2. Satisfactory passing scores as established by the State Board of Education on PRAXIS I PPST-Reading, PPST-Writing, PPST-Math.

Receiving institutions may have additional requirements, prerequisites, and/or proficiencies. Since these vary at receiving institutions, students should review the admission-to-teacher-education requirements for the institution(s) they anticipate attending.

**Hours will vary depending on course selection.

(Note: UNC-Asheville students major in an academic area and the selected 20 hours should be coordinated with their intended major/ program.) Typically offered academic concentrations are biology, English, history, mathematics, and psychology. See your academic advisor for a more complete list of recommendations for specific academic concentrations.

Cardiovascular Sonography - Adult Echocardiography

Curriculum Description

The Cardiovascular Sonography curriculum provides the individual with the knowledge and skills necessary to acquire, process, and evaluate the human heart and vascular structures. A cardiovascular sonographer uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the heart and vascular structures.

Course work includes effective communication and patient care skills combined with a knowledge of physics, human anatomy, physiology, and pathology, all of which are essential to obtaining high quality sonographic images.

Graduates may be eligible to apply to the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers for examinations in physics, cardiovascular physics, vascular physics, and adult echocardiography. Graduates may find employment in hospitals, physicians’ offices, mobile services, and educational institutions.

The following represents one way in which the program of study can be completed. Students who aren’t able to follow this plan should consult their academic advisor to be sure that they take courses in the best order for their success.

  2. Completion of program orientation requirements.
  3. Overall grade point average of 2.0 on those courses completed at Forsyth Tech and listed as program course requirements.
  4. Completion of the Forsyth Tech Student Medical Form (includes an eye and dental examination).

Program Information
This program has limited enrollment and has deadline requirements. Students are chosen by a selective admissions process based on grades earned in required related courses (i.e., biology, communications and psychology). The Admissions Office can provide additional information on the selection process. Dental Assisting students are required to maintain a C average in both lecture and laboratory in order to satisfactorily complete any course in the program. Students are allowed to make one (1) D in a DEN or BIO course and continue on academic probation. If students make a second D or the first F in any DEN or BIO courses, then they are not allowed to continue in the full-time program.

Accreditation does require a specific number of class, lab and clinical hours for the student to graduate, so there are strict attendance rules. If the student surpasses the allowed number of hours missed, they will be dropped from the program and will have to reapply for the next year. Readmission may be possible but requires reapplying and approval by the college.

*Students should select this course if they plan on enrolling in the Dental Hygiene program.

Criminal Background Checks/Drug Screening
Clinical facilities may require criminal background checks and/or drug screening for students assigned to their facility for clinical education. In addition, national and/or state registry and/or licensure boards may prohibit eligibility for registry or licensure based on criminal background records. Please refer to the Health Technologies section on www.forsythtech.edu.

Students are chosen by a selective admissions process based on grades earned in required related courses (i.e., biology, communications and psychology). The Admissions Office can provide additional information on the selection process.

Accreditation requires a specific number of class, lab and clinical hours for the student to graduate, so there are strict attendance rules. If the student surpasses the allowed number of hours missed, they will be dropped from the program and will have to readmit the next year. Readmission may be possible but requires reapplying and approval by the college.

Humanities/Fine Arts Elective — Select one: ART 111, HUM 110, HUM 115, HUM 120, HUM 121, HUM 160, MUS 110, PHI 215, PHI 240, or REL 110. Consult an academic advisor concerning other possible electives.

**Hours vary depending on course selection.

Criminal Background Checks/Drug Screening
Clinical facilities may require criminal background checks and/or drug screening for students assigned to their facility for clinical education. In addition, national and/or state registry and/or licensure boards may prohibit eligibility for registry or licensure based on criminal background records. Please refer to the Health Technologies section on www.forsythtech.edu.

**Hours will vary depending on course selection.


Developmental Education

Curriculum Description

Developmental Education provides students with an opportunity to build academic skills and acquire the background which should facilitate success in their desired program of study.

For applicants to a program of study who, on the basis of test results and past performance, do not qualify for immediate admission to their chosen program of study, noncredit developmental course work is available and may be required as a prerequisite for registration in specific credit courses. Students taking the required development work may also take specified courses within their desired program of study.

Students may transfer all applicable credit courses into their program of study when the criteria has been met and developmental and selected program courses have been completed. All credit courses within the student’s chosen program of study will then be applied toward graduation.

Some developmental courses are also open to students who wish to take them for personal benefit.

This program offers a series of courses for preparation, remediation and guidance for students who, for a variety of reasons, do not meet the specific entrance requirements for the program of their choice. Students who do meet the minimum entrance requirements but whose previous academic records indicate that they may have difficulty in successfully completing their programs are also advised to complete the necessary course work in the Developmental Education program.

The student’s academic program will be individually designed to meet their specific preparatory and remedial needs. The courses will be selected from the developmental offerings and from technical and/or vocational credit courses. Developmental education courses do not earn credit towards graduation from degree, diploma and certificate programs.
